Here in the United States, July 4 is also known as "Independence
Day". As President Bush spoke today in a Fourth of July speech to the
nation from Monticello, Virginia:

"You represent many different
ethnicities and races and religions. But you all have one thing in
common - and that is a shared love of freedom. This love of liberty is
what binds our nation together, and this is the love that makes us all
Americans."

My theory is that there are other people around the world, who are
not Americans, who also love things like liberty and freedom. So I
think it'd be terrific if all the freedom-loving Americans President
Bush is talking to would stand up and commit themselves to stopping
their own country from denying freedom and self-determination to people
elsewhere. Seriously, you can't have democracy and occupation at the
same time.

To acknowledge the concept of independence, today we release a new episode - Iraq Under Occupation: Raed Jarrar decodes the misinformation.
I admit it's a little long (~ 1 hr 10 min), but I hope everyone who is
not already familiar with Raed Jarrar or his work will take the time to
watch it. It is crucial that every American understand the implications
of what he is saying.
